Per Karalyn:
97.5 hours over 9 days and we built our 39 Bard Balloons hopper envelope. Will, Echo & I will leave WI with a new balloon named Bruce. I knew we would do it, even if I didn't know exactly how. With the help of Jeff & Kaylee, Kaden, Zach, Andy, Robert & Pete, and visits with Kurt & Sarah & family and Don - we got to work. Jessica & Nathan opened their home to work in and we stayed at Dave's while he was enjoying sunny FL. And Nathan, the Sweatshop boss, man with the plan, ever patient teacher/sewing machine repairman and great friend. Words can never express our gratitude.
RHS Member Tina who recently soloed, got to sit in our local Sheriff’s Office Helicopter, RAVEN!
Several RHS99s attended the Pathways to Aviation presentation by Eileen Collins!
Tonight RHS 99s and friends met with a local meteorologist, who is also a pilot, for a discussion about weather! Thanks to Angela for making the connection and arrangements!
Our 99’s visited Biggest Little City Flight School Open house
My fellow aviatrices, I present Tara T., freshly minted private pilot! Congratulations!!!
RHS99s celebrated Tara passing her check ride yesterday at our monthly business meeting.
Below you can find some of our canine members who are generally the center of attention: Rembrandt in the foreground and Rio snoozing in the background.
Per Stacie: Nothing like flying with your girlfriends! Boots (Colleen) and I went to pick up Leah in Concord CA today. It was just perfect weather and a smooth flight. Left Nevada all bundled up- got to Concord and we were sweating! I love cross country flying!
Congrats to Ann, who passed her check ride today and became a private pilot!!
Don’t we all wish we were Leah today? She commuted from KCXP to KCCR, by plane for work, which is FAR superior than commuting by car. Especially when you bring friends with you, like 49.5 Jere, and fellow RHS 99 Stacie!
This past weekend Heather and Dani flew to Columbia for breakfast and stopped by the local fall craft festival that included period soldiers marching the Flag!
Congratulations to Colleen for hitting 300 hours!!
Stacie and Tara we’re out and about enjoying the blue skies!
Most of us have something aviation themed in our homes; a framed solo shirt, artwork, or a prop. This past weekend Dani attended an aviation themed wedding!!
Leah logged time today in the company plane! (We’re all happy and jealous!)
Karalyn’s flying in New Mexico, a whole group of RHS 99s are flying in Texas, and Christine was flying today in California with a student.
Stacie, Colleen, RuthAnn are at GIFT! Girls in Flight Training. This week long flying camp is the stuff of dreams for working towards a rating and building experience. Check out GIFT’s Website!
